Be a Crazy Runner

I started running again, I was suprised how hard 3 miles could be.

I ran most of it, but I almost died, so I started to walk for a little bit.  After that I felt much better and ran the rest of the way.

It was okay.  But I didn't run the whole way.  I only walked a little bit, and stopped half way, then ran the rest of the way back.

I ran most of it and walked a little.  I ran with Maquel Millward, she paced me most of the way.

I RAN 4 MILES!!  WITHOUT WALKING!!!

At least I think I went 4 miles.... I didn't know where the 4 mile mark was.  So I just stopped where I saw the footprints stop.  (We did a dirt run)

I remembered to add the warm-up.  I ran with Mariah.  It seemed like this run went on forever. 

It was the dirt run.  I ran with Susan.  It seemed like it took forever.... But I didn't walk!

The 3 mile grass run is probably my favorite run. I ran with Mariah. It was a really fun run. I like doing the kid club. It is super fun.

I had no idea where other park was.... so Tim and I just ran at home.

I ran the same course that I ran yesterday.  4 miles just gets easier and easier.  Maybe I will start running 5 next week sometime.

The hill was REALLY hard... but I did it.  I ran with Susan most of it, but then I passed her at the end.

It was the dirt run.  I ran with Susan.  My first mile was 11:14.7, my second mile was 9:10.1.  On the way packed I passed Susan and ran with Taylor Boyer.

I might of ran 4.5, because Susan, Breanne (sorry if I spelt your name wrong), and I think we made a wrong turn.  The hill was horrible.  But I didn't walk at all!  The striders were hard too.  Susan, your awesome.

I ran with Taylor Boyer the whole 3 miles.  Kids club was really fun.

I ran with Megan, Liz, and Taylor.  I felt pretty good, but they said they slowed down for us....

I ran with the super fast people- Mia, Megan, Taylor........ I tried to keep up with them the whole time, but at the end I kind of slowed down.  THAT HILL WAS HORRIBLE!

 I ran with the fast people again.  But after that huge hill, I ran with Makayla.  I do NOT like hills.

I felt sick and I had a little headache, so I ran with Susan today.

I had to get up before everybody else so I could run.  I did the same course I did on Saturday a couple of weeks ago.  The  run was kind of hard, but I kept on going.

It was hard, but I didn't walk.  I ran with Breanne (sorry if I spelt your name wrong).

That hill was super hard.  I ran with Kaelie and Breann.  Striders were fun with the sprinklers.

I ran with my brother-in-law.  We stopped at the half way point because their was a HUGE steep hill, after that hill I felt sick.  We also had to run through a river, but it wasn't that deep.

I ran with Maquel Millward on the way there, and then I ran with Taylor Boyer and Megan on the way back.  That hill is SUPER hard!!!  We ran through the sprinklers on the way back.

I kept up with all the girls for the first mile, on the second mile, I fell behind.  Then I ran with Kaelie for the rest of the way.  Tim had a migraine yesterday, that is why he wasn't there today.

 I ran with all the girls (Mia, Megan, and Rachel).  I actually stayed with them the whole time.  Hopefully I can run with them from now on.  I did striders with them too.  I might have to run with my little brother for 2 miles tonight.

I ran 2 easy miles with my little brother, Jason. 

I ran with Makayla and Kaelie, it was fun.  Kids camp was fun too.  I am so happy I was able to come to kids camp this week, I missed it two times in a row.

I liked today's run.  It was nice. but I had a little cold.  I ran with Makayla and Kailee.  On the way back we ran through the Splash Pad.  It was freezing.

I ran 2 easy mile with my brother again.  We might of done more, because Jason went a different way.

I ran with Makayla and Kailee.  It was pretty much a good run except for the fact I had a sore throat, and when I got back I drank a ton of water and felt sick while doing striders.  Other than that, I liked this run.  

I ran with Susan, Mariah, and Breann.  Susan and Mariah stopped and turned back at 3 miles.  So I ran with Breann for most of the run.  I don't know if I will be able to make to afternoon practice, because I have and orthodontist appointment at 1:30, but if it ends before 2:00, I will come to practice.

I ran 3 miles at the school.  I ran with Maquel on the way there and on the way back I ran with the fast girls.  It was really hot, I need to drink more water.  After we had a little swimming "party".  It was pretty exciting. 

I ran with Makayla and Breann on the way there.  Then they stopped at three miles.  So I ran with Susan.  But on the way up the hill I passed Susan and ran alone.

I loved running in the sprinklers!  I ran with Mariah.  Kid's Club was really fun.  The kids are starting to like me. 

That was a huge hill!  Mariah, Kailee, Chancie and I all got lost for about half of it.  So we followed the towers and eventually got back on to the trail.  That run was very hard, but I did it. 

I am going to try to get one of my friends to afternoon practice today, but she probably won't come.

It was hot on our afternoon run.  I ran with Susan for most of it.  I stopped at Arctic Circle for a drink, because I had a little headache. 

I did the level 2 workout today, and ran with the level 2 girls.  I only ran with them because they were running 4 and I didn't want to just run 3.  I drank too much water when we got back, so I felt a little sick during striders.

We ran 3 miles.  It was hard.... I ran with Maquel. 

I ran with Maquel again, and had a really bad cramp.  But for the 2nd run, I felt fine.

We did not have time to even run 3 this morning.  So it was a super easy run.

I ran with a bunch of XC girls up at camp.  I got one of my friends to run with us.  She said she was going to join XC when school starts!

I ran 3 super easy miles with my little brother. I walked most of the time, because I couldn't leave my brother.  Plus it was SUPER hot.

Wow, six.  I thought I could barely go 5, but I know I can now.  Six actually wasn't that bad, it went faster than I thought it would.  I am so proud of myself!  

I don't know why, but this run was harder usual.  I ran with Mariah and did striders with her.

I ran with Breann on the way to Arctic Circle, got a drink, and ran with Taylor Boyer on the way back.  After, we had a super fun swimming party at Megan's pool. 

I did the level 2 workout today, and ran with the level 2 girls.  I don't think I am ready to be a level 2, but I still run with them sometime.  It was a nice run.

Plus, the top of my right foot is hurting.... What do I do to make it feel better? 

I like grass runs.  It always goes by way fast.  I loved the sprinker while doing striders.  And my foot didn't hurt as much, but it still hurt.  I ran with Mariah.  Kid's club was way fun.  It was sad for the kids that got 25.5 miles, because they didn't get a certificate.  (Taylor's little sister)  That made me way sad.  The race was awesome!!  I am excited to do this again next year!

I had no idea what I was doing on the way up the hill.  But when we got to the 5 mile piont, I understood.  So I don't think I did the run right.  I ran with Breann and Susan.  It was a nice run.

I am going to try to get one of my freshmen friends to come to afternoon practice today, her name is Kylie.  She probably won't come.

Afternoon practice was okay.  I ran with Breann.  She stopped twice so I had to run alone for a little while.  We stopped at Arctic Circle again to get a drink.

SEVEN MILES?!  What the?  Last week was my first time doing six, but now I can do seven?  On the way there, I ran with the level 2 girls, and  on the way back, I ran with Breann.  But the top of my foot began to hurt again on this run.  And we had to stop to get a drink.

I ran with Kailee, it was a pretty nice run.  On the way back Mariah and Breann ran with us. We also did striders.

I ran with Susan and Mariah.  I liked this run.  We stopped half way and got a drink, but I drank too much and felt sick on the way back. 

It was a nice run.  I ran with Breann.  On the way back we ran through some sprinklers.  And it wasn't too hot either!  I liked todays run.

I ran with Mariah.  It was a pretty nice run except for the grass was just bearly mowed and our feet were wet.  We weren't hot until after striders, but the sprinklers turned off right when we were done with them.  It made me sad.

I ran with Mariah, Kailee G., and Megan, through most of the course.  It was a nice run.

I did the level 2 workout today, I ran with Mariah.  I finished the workout before the level 2 girls even got there.  We stopped at Chevron on the way back to get a drink of water.  If we are going to do those kind of workouts in the afternoon next week, I better drink more water!

We did the course that we are going to race tomorrow.  It was good, but it was super hot.  I ran with Kailee and Breann.  Than at the end I ran with Megan and Taylor.

We did the fundraiser for Megan.  I enjoy that run so much better in cooler weather.  I ran with Breann and Kailee.  It was a nice run.

This run was hard!  I for sure need to drink tons more water!  I just didn't feel good on this run.  Plus my knee started to hurt.  I ran with Breann.  We stopped at Arctic Circle for a drink.  After that is when my knee started to hurt. 

I think I did ok on the time trial, I tried to keep up with Mariah, but I ended up running with Makayla.  My hip and knee hurt today for I don't know why.  My knee has been hurting since yesterday and today is when my hip started to hurt.

It was HOT today!  I stopped to get a drink on the way back.  My knee didn't hurt, but my hip still hurts a little.  I am going to drink tons more water tomorrow.

I did the level 2 workout today.  It was hard!  I drank more water today though.  I ran with Mariah.

I did morning practice today!  I ran with Breann and Chancie on the way there, and then ran with the rest of the girls on the way back.  It was really nice weather.

It was a nice afternoon run.  We stopped for water twice.  Striders were good too.

I got 29th in the race, and 10th in just our school.  The time I got was 26:36:42 (or 26:46:32, I don't remember)  I ran with Chancie through most of it, but then I heard someone say to another girl, "Pass those 3 Pine View girls!"  It was near the end, so I started to push way super hard and she never passed me.  I passed 2 girls at the end of the race too.

I did morning practice.  It was a super nice run.  I ran with Mariah, Susan, and Chancie on the way there and on the way back, I ran with Taylor Boyer.

I ran with the level 2 jv girls today.  We stopped at the river, it felt really nice.  It was SO hot today!  I kind of fell behind at the very end though.  I will try to keep up with the level 2 jv girls soon.

I tried to keep up with Makayla, Taylor, and Kaelie today.  It was nice that we only had to do 2 1000's.  My first one I got 4:10, but the second time I got 4:16.  I got 6 seconds slower!  It seemed like I was going harder on the second one, but I guess I was tired.  Thanks for throwing my water bottle, Coach!

It was a nice morning practice.  I ran with all the girls (except for Varsity). 

This run was hard!  And it didn't help much that I was sore from yesterday.  I was always just a little bit behind on the whole run!  I will try to do better.

It was a nice grass run.  I like this run.  But the grass was warmer than usual.  It was really hot too.  I can't wait for cooler weather.

I did morning practice this morning!  It was nice.  I ran with Susan through most of it..... She has gotten much faster since the last time I ran with her!

I ran with Makayla and Kaelie.  It was a super nice run.  We only ran to Arctic Circle though, because tomorrow is the race and we did hard level 2 workouts this whole week.  Striders were good too.  I got over the fence for the first time without help!

It was a really good race.  I got 16 place, and that's the place I got last year when I got disqualified!  The time I got was 23:13:25.  I stayed with Kaelie at the beginning, then I passed her.  Then I caught with Mariah and ran with her pretty much the whole race.  Then we ended up passing Megan too.  I like this course. 

I did morning practice!!!

I FELT HORRIBLE TODAY!!!  I even walked a little.  And we don't even know how far we went.  I ran with Taylor, Kaelie, Aubrey and Megan.  It was so hot!  My knees and hip hurt, but besides those things, this run was fantastic. 

I don't know why, but I thought this run was easier than yesterday.  My first 1000 was 4:13, second 4:25, third 4:13.  But I felt kind of sick on the cool down.  But I think that was because I drank too much water.  I know it's weird, but I like doing fast but short runs.  Plus, my hip kind of hurts too, but my knee doesn't hurt as much any more.  What do I do to help it?

After practice I got new running shoes and spikes (that is why I am doing this so late). 

I did 10ish miles (including this morning and warm up).  This run was hard plus it was hot.  But I still like shorter but faster runs more than big long runs. 

It was a nice easy 4 miles without shoes.  It was great, except for the fact that my feet are now beat up from getting stabbed a ton of times.  I kept up with all the other girls.  It was nice not finishing last and finishing with the group.

I acctually don't know how far we went.  I think it was four but I don't know.  I ran with Kaelie G. and Taylor.  It was a nice run.  I liked this run.

I love doing the run-a-thon!  I only ran 3 times, because I had to leave early for Jason, and when we got back I only ran 1 more time.  Sprinting hurts!  Now I have to go to the Sing-a-thon, ugh.

We (Megan, Kaelie, Aubrey, and Kelsi) made a group at 7:00 am this morning and ran.  It was a very nice 6 miles.  Tempo was good, too.  I felt great.  I don't know if I will be able to do the 3 miles, because I am doing stuff with my brother and his family.

It was a very nice four miles!  I ran with Kaelie G..  I think we did a very steady pace.  Striders were great too.  I got over the gate without any help! (to get to striders)  The parade was fun!

I loved today's run!  I ran with Aubrey, Kaelie, and Makayla!  It was way nice just going 3 miles!  I liked doing the 200's too, it seemed like I pushed myself well.  It was awesome!

I actually don't know my time.... so that's is not my real time....  Wow, that course is hard.  But I think I did good consider the fact that it was all on grass.  I stayed right behing Taylor through out the whole race!  I tried to keep up with her, but it seemed like every time I sped up to catch her, she went a little faster too.  I left before I could see my time though.

Lighting the PV was super fun!  We saw Brett (the guy off of Kid History) at the game! 

I DID MORNING PRACTICE!

My first time doing michigan.  I wasn't enjoying it then, but now I feel good. 

I loved today's run.  All of the girls ran together as a pack.  It was very nice.  I felt very good today.

I could only do the warm-up, because I have piano very soon.

I felt really good today.  I like these kind of runs.  I felt awesome.

I did morning practice this morning AND I WASN'T LATE!  We all stayed in a group.  Susan is SO much faster!!!

It was a really nice 4 miles, all the girls ran together for the most part, but some went 3 and 3.5.  So I ran with Kaelie G. and Taylor Boyer.  Striders were nice too.

It was a super nice run.  Me, Liz H., Megan, and Kaelie G. all met up at the high school and did 6 miles Green Springs.  I like that run in the morning.  Kaelie and I stayed and pushed together through the whole run.  We were ahead of Megan and Liz through most of the run.  It was nice.  We saw a dead bunny on the side of the road.  That really creeped me and Kaelie out.  But other than that, IT WAS AWESOME!! 

I did morning practice!  We saw a super scary weiner dog though.  It scared us.

I felt really good.  I ran with Kaelie and Makayla. It was super humid though.  We stopped at the Dog Pound to get a drink.  My legs are still sore from that hard workout we did on Thursday.

It felt really good to run with all the level 2 jv girls.  I like this kind of workouts.  It was cool that I lead the pack for the last 1000.  I feel great.

It was nice.  On the 200's my legs started to hurt.  It was scary in the weight room!

It was a very nice and easy 4 miles.  We had to make two pit-stops though, everybody had to go to the bathroom at different times!  (not really everybody, only 3 people)  They had the gate open for striders!  But they told me that after I was almost half way over the fence.  I CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW!

It was a nice 3 miles.  The Varsity people did really good.

I like this race.  Mariah stayed with me through more than half the race, then she fell behind.  Then I saw Taylor Boyer, I ended up getting two places behind her.  I think this is my P.R.  So that's pretty cool.  It made my spikes super dirty because of the wet grass. 

I ran with Kaelie.  Then Megan and Taylor caught up with us.  Then we ran the rest with them.  It was nice.

I pushed myself way harder, but I didn't get the B time!  Next time, next time for sure.  Kelsi, on our second time doing the 1200, leaned over and said, "Liz, I am going to pass out..."  So that freaked me out a little.  But she was the one pushing me at the end.  It's so awesome I got a minute faster.  My legs felt like jello when I finished.  Now I am starting to feel them getting tighter.

We did 3 miles plus 6x200's.  Weights were fun too.

All the girls ran together.  It was awesome, both of the Kaelie's (I'm spelling Kaelie G.'s name) and Liz's ran together!  I got over the gate for striders!

WOW!!  5th place!  It was so nice to get a medal.  I stayed up with Taylor Boyer.  I wanted to be in the top ten at first.... but during the race, when I was running with Taylor, Taylor said, "Top four."  So that made me push more.  I didn't get in the top 4, but Taylor did.  But top 5?!  That is awesome!

Man, those 200's killed me.  My throat and knees began to hurt after my second 200.  WHY DID TIM HAVE TO GO SO FAST?! (he was on my team right before me)

My legs are so sore from yesterday's run........  It was nice to have all the girls run together.  Kaelie and I did "yoga" after our run.

Did Varsity run in this race too?  Because there were tons of people in the race.  I think this time is my PR!  I was 3-4 people behind Kelsi.  I really like this course.  YEAH FOR SUSAN FOR BREAKING 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  SHE KILLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so freezing!  But it was awesome that we only had to run 3 miles!!  Sally stayed with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  YEAH!

Yeah!  Ice Cream run!  It was so fun!

Kaelie, Chancie and I met at the high school at 7:00 am this morning and ran 3 miles.  We didn't know how far we needed to run, so we just did three.  Coach, you need to update the blog!

It was a nice 3 mile run.  I ran with Taylor, Liz H., and Hannah.  Striders were fun too.

I don't know how far the race was, but I GOT 3RD!!  Yeah it wasn't my PR, but I was the first JV girl from Pine View!!  Yeah!!!!!

It was a super nice run.  I stayed with the really fast Varsity girl's through out the whole run!! : )  It was a fun run!

Were we supposed to run 5 miles?  I ran at 8:00 because we are going to Las Vegas this morning and we wouldn't have time to run if we ran at 9:00.  I ran with Kaelie and her little bro.  It was fun.  Coach, you really need to update the running blog!!  I need to know how far I need to run!

I had to run on a treadmill..... It was horrible.  3 miles felt like it took forever!  Oh well, at least I got a run in.

I ran with the varsity girls. Wow, it is much harder than the other work outs I've done. I almost threw up 3 times. But it was pretty fun to run with new people.

I ran with Taylor Boyer.  We were kinda' slow....  But it was fun to run with her.

It was a nice "jog".  That was crazy when Trevor jumped over that car.

Good Job to the Varsity runners!! :)

I didn't feel that great today.  I felt a little sick too.  I ran with Liz H, Abby, and Taylor B.  I am a little worried to run more than 4 miles.....

I am guessing it's 5 miles.  Anyway,  that hill is HARD!!  But I am  pretty suprised that I was able to run up that hill 3 times.  My knees were hurting just a little bit on this run.  I think it's because of running down hill.

It was a very nice run.  Except for the part when I totally wiped out.  Yeah, I fell.... But it was super ninja like.  At first, I stumbled.  Then I stumbled again, and that's when I fell.  Right after falling, I did a little roll and got right up and started to run again!  The only thing I got from the accident, was a bloody hand... It was pretty painful.  Now it's okay. : )

I think it was about 6-ish miles.  Woo hoo!  Old Man Hills!!  It was pretty great.

It was a super nice run.... much easier than yesterday's run!!  I was leading the pack on both of the 1200's!  It was pretty awesome.  My knees hurt from yesterday's run.  I iced them today..... hopefully it doesn't get worse.

I got up this morning and ran with Chancie and Kaelie.  We had no idea how far we needed to run, so we just ran 4.  I knee doesn't hurt too bad anymore, but it still hurts.  I hope it gets better soon.  IT WAS SUPER COLD!!

It was a super nice run.......  I am soooo sorry Sally, I know how you feel!  Well, almost.. 

I don't know how far the run was, so I guessed Six miles, cause it sure felt like it!  I hurt way bad!  Those 200's killed me the most!  But the way to Old Man Hills, and on the way back, was super nice!  I  ran with Kaelie, Taylor, Aubrey, and Hannah..... I think they are my speed, so I am going  to run with them until they, or I, get faster.

It was a really nice run!  I ran with Hannah, Kaelie, Sally and Taylor.  It was super nice.  Striders were great too.   

OH MY GOODNESS!!  I stayed with with the Varsity Girls!!  It was really hard, but I think it will get easier.  My legs hurt!  It was super nice to run fast too.

It was a really nice run.  I ran with Kaelie! : )  We did striders with Sasha.  It was awesome!  Sasha is a fast runner!

Kaelie and I met up at the High School this morning and did a nice 4 mile run to Green Springs.  I really like that run in the morning.  My knees started to hurt on the way back from Green Springs, I think it is prolly cause it's down hill.  Kaelie's knees hurt too. : (  But we stretched and now they feel better. : )

It was super nice.  I ran with Aubrey and Makayla.  First Aubrey and I ran 3 with Makayla.  Then we did the DI loop, so it would make it 5 miles.  200's were awesome too.

It was a really awesome death run!!  I ran with Taylor, Hannah, Aubrey, and Kaelie!!  It was super awesome!!  Taylor and I, on the last 800, lead the pack!!  (because Varsity wasn't running with us) : )  400's are harder on the grass,  I almost tripped about 3-4 times. :b

IT WAS SUPER  NICE!!  I actually stayed with the Varsity girls again!!  I even stayed with them during striders! : )

It was AWESOME!! : ) I stayed right behind Varsity girls!!  It was so nice to do a "race" again!  I love feelin' the rush! : )

SUPER NICE!!  I ran with Kaelie and Chancie.  It was nice to do an easy run.

Kaelie, Chancie, and I met at the High school and ran Sanburgs.  (is that how you spell it?) It was so cold!  Couldn't feel my arms or my hands! 

I just guessed how far we ran.  I really don't know how far, but I know it was more than four.  Anyway, Man this run was HARD!   I couldn't breath after the 3 set.  But soon I began breathing again, then we ran back.  The cool down was nice and relaxing though.  I ran that with Kaelie. : )

Super nice 4 miles and striders!   The grass at PVMS is about as crappy as our grass!

I kind of guessed how far we ran.  Anyway, man this was a hard run.  I don't know why, but I felt slow today.  I ran the cool down with Sasha and Taylor.  It was a nice hard run. 

Taylor, Chancie, and I were late because for choir we had to sing at the Jubilee of Trees.  So when we got back we ran 4 miles.  It was way nice! : )

I ran with Kaelie, Chancie, Sally.  We did the 2450 park grass run!  Kaelie and I ran without shoes.  It felt really nice.  Striders were fantastic!

Kaelie and I ran four awesome miles this morning to Green Springs!  Super nice running weather!  Good luck Varsity for your race!  : )

I am just guessing that's how far we went.  Man, those hills just hurt my knees SO bad!  I think that we should let our knees heal before we do those hills again....  I MY GOODNESS!  Footlocker is in a couple of weeks...  I am so sad that Nicole and Tim can't come : (...  What am I going to do without my brother?

I kinda' guessed that's how far I ran.   OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!  B STANDARD!!!!!!!!  YEAH!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks Megan and Taylor for pushing me until the end! : )  It was awesome, except for the fact that I almost past out/threw up at the end.......    FANTASTIC!!

Taylor B. and I ran at the high school, it was super fun.... We ran to Starbucks. :D  Nice and cold............  :P

I went 4ish, because I don't know a four mile run, so I went about 3.75 miles.  I ran with my dad this morning.  It was pretty awesome. :D

I went on a different run than yesterday, and yes, I guessed how far it was.  It's kind of hard to pace yourself when you are running alone.  But it was still an awesome run.  That last mile and a half was hard.

It was an awesome run.  I ran with my dad again.  Those 200's were hard.  I prolly pushed myself too hard. I saw Mia running this morning. : )

Yeah!  I love running!  I ran with Kaelie and Taylor, super fun. : )

I guessed how far the run was (the extra .5 mile is because of warm up).  It was super nice.  I love it when we all run in a pack! : )  I think I pushed my self a little too hard on that last 200.

I have no idea how far that run is.  My knees hurt SO bad!!  And now I am super sore.  Anyway, I ran with Taylor Boyer (pretty much the best person ever:P)  It was super fun.  I love running with Taylor. : )

WOO HOO!!!   FOOTLOCKER!!  I am excited. : )

Super fun run.  I ran with Taylor and Susan. : )

Wow, that course is super hilly. : )  It's a fun course.  I ran with Hannah and Taylor.

Wow!!  I love this race!  It's way exciting.  I thought the hills were tough, but it will make me stronger.  Man, my legs feel like rubber, and they are SUPER sore!!

Woo hoo!  We are runnin' again!!  I ran with Reading Boyer : ).  Fun, fun... Felt like crud.

It was fantastic!   I ran with Taylor, Kaelie, and Breann!!  I love running with them, they are so fun! :)

I ran with my dad.  Wow, I thought 3 miles was easy...  and soon we will have to run 5 miles. :P

For Christmas I got a Garmin!  So today, I just made up a 3 mile run.  It was super fun.  I love this watch! :)
